The Best Luxury Hampers for Christmas Gifting

Feature: Long Read
Words by Bridie Newman

It’s no secret that the perfect Christmas starts with a plentiful (read, abundant) supply of gourmet food. So, what better gift than one of our full-to-bursting hampers or Christmas hampers? They're filled with the best that our world-famous Food Halls have to offer, from handmade, seasonal condiments and devilishly moreish Belgian chocolates to specially selected wines and bubbly – all guaranteed to draw smiles during the festive season.

For the person who says they don’t need anything, discover our festive favourite Bestselling Hampers, and become your family’s foodie Father Christmas with our fail-proof Family Christmas Hampers. Surprise those with a sweet-tooth (we’re looking at you, grandma) with our Confectionary and Chocolate Hampers or elevate the wine-lovers cellar without having to know your grapes with our Wine Hampers. And remember, a hamper isn’t just for Christmas – we’ve got Hampers for Every Occasion, from birthdays to engagement celebrations and more.

Bestselling Hampers

Not sure where to begin? Our bestsellers are popular with good reason. The Yuletide classics within them will see the lucky recipient through the season. Think spiced berry and plum jam or Christmas Pudding soaked in Cognac, Spanish sherry and British cider – a welcome stocking filler in itself. Plus, our rich and buttery Spiced Salted Caramel Biscuits laced with cinnamon and ginger.

A must-have for your Christmas table is our Festive Chutney. Infused with spices, it combines sweet, diced pear with plump Turkish raisins and Spanish blood orange. It’s perfect for a Boxing Day cheeseboard, and delicious in a hearty Christmas leftovers sandwich.

Family Christmas Hampers

Gathering loved ones together for a feast is what the festive season is all about. Make it easier for your host by choosing a hamper filled with all the ingredients for a memorable Christmas. Start your day with a slice of brioche, generously slathered in stollen curd, a velvety smooth spread with citrus notes and spices, and finish it with the decadent Hot Chocolate Trio featuring classic, gingerbread and sea salted caramel – perfect with a dollop of whipped cream for cosy winter movie nights. Fussy eaters among the family? Fear not, we have yet to meet anyone who can resist our clotted cream fudge.

Our Christmas Spiced Tea Blend – a fan-favourite since 2010 – has a Sri Lankan black tea base with a warming combination of cinnamon, cardamon, ginger, orange peel, cloves and vanilla.

Confectionary and Chocolate Hampers

If they have a penchant for cosy, decadently sugary delights, a premium chocolate or sweets hamper will always go down a treat. Our iconic Gold Bar, smooth Belgian milk chocolate enriched with chunks of chewy almond nougat, never fails to please, nor do our fizzy Christmas trees and chocolate brownie balls. Is your stomach rumbling yet?

The crunch of the hand-roasted almonds, the creaminess of the thick chocolate-hazelnut praline coating – it’s no surprise our Praline Almonds are a bestseller all year round.

Wine Hampers

Wine lover, party host or that hard-to-buy-for friend – give them everything they need to raise a toast to the festivities with a wine and spirits hamper. Here’s to hoping the lucky recipient opens a bottle while you’re visiting. 

The Harrods New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc 2022, produced at Nautilus Estate in Marlborough, has distinct aromas of passionfruit, lemon and ripe grapefruit. The palate introduces fresh and zesty notes with a mouth-watering intensity and a clean, crisp finish. 

 

Hampers for Every Occasion

A hamper makes the perfect gift all year round. Let’s face it – nothing says ‘I love you’ like a basket full of gourmet food. Think picnics in the summer, family feasts in the winter and everything in between. Baby showers, weddings, birthdays – we have every moment covered, as well as hampers to say congratulations, alcohol-free hampers and more.

History of Hampers

Did you know that Harrods has been selling hampers since around 1850? It was during the Victorian era that Christmas hampers became popular presents, with families in particular gifting them to their employees.

 

Back then, a Harrods hamper offered a choice of turkey, goose, or ham, plus a bottle of port, tea and a pound of butter and tobacco. Not to be sniffed at, but a box of crumbly all-butter mince pies certainly wouldn't go amiss.

Corporate Hampers

Whether you’re celebrating successes or simply showing appreciation, our corporate gifting team is on hand to provide a fantastic breadth of ideas and personalisation options to suit all budgets and briefs. To order, give us a call on +44(0)20 7225 5994 or email corporate.service@harrods.com.
